What is copyright?
Copyright is the legal right of creators of “original works of authorship” that have been fixed in a tangible medium of expression, which include literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and certain other creative works, both published and unpublished.
Copyright law provides the following exclusive rights for copyright owners:
– to reproduce all or part of the copyrighted work
– to prepare derivative versions based on the original copyrighted work
– to distribute copies of the copyrighted work to the public
– to perform or display the copyrighted work publicly Copyright law provides incentives for creating.
One of the incentives for creating music, literature and other works is being able to reap the financial benefits as the creator. Illegitimate distribution of copies may prevent the copyright holder from benefiting from the sale of legitimate copies of the product. Significantly fewer people would buy copies from the copyright holder if other copies were available cheaper or for free.
Copyright law gives a creator of music, literature and other works a limited monopoly to reproduce or distribute the created work. A person or entity is accused of copyright infringement when someone claims they violated copyright by copying part or all of a work without authorization or enabled other people to make such copies.
Copyright infringement actions do not require that you actually knew that the material was protected by copyright or that your use of the material violated federal law. Claims of ignorance cannot be used as a defense to direct copyright infringement. Contributory infringement is form of indirect infringement. Contributory infringement requires 1) knowledge of the infringing activity and 2) a material contribution—actual assistance or inducement—to the alleged violation.
Even though you may not actually make the illegal copy, providing assistance in locating unauthorized copies of music, literature or other works on download sites, server space or support for sites that do the above may be considered contributory infringement.
A cease and desist letter gives the recipient notice that someone believes you have infringed their copyright. If the materials that are the subject of the notice are in fact infringing, then you do have a duty to remove them, although there may be statutory provisions that protect you from a lawsuit if the materials were posted by someone else.
If you do not believe that the materials are infringing, or if you believe that you are making fair use of the materials, you may choose to take the risk of not removing the materials, but a lawsuit might follow. If the accuser obtains a court order, then you must take down the materials.
